Hide AdAnd there were many other similar success stories this morning at Chenderit School, where, following the cancellation of exams nationally, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards.
Chenderit School’s headteacher, Jane Cartwright said: “We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted year. At every stage in the past year we took the decision to maintain our planned curriculum, and switch to live lessons immediately once school closures were announced in January. Once we were able to reopen fully, we put in place a full programme of end-of-year assessments which means students can be confident that they have demonstrated what they know, understand and can do just as students in any usual year have done. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress onto further education and study, and we look forward to seeing what these Year 13 students will achieve in the future.”
